Gemstone Animals

Many cultures have traditionally used animals as symbolism. Native people often view animals as teachers, as each represents a beneficial quality that can help strengthen and educate a person. Once we understand each animalâ€™s essence, the specific gifts and strengths the creature represents, we can then incorporate a particular animal into a ritual and ask its guidance

"Nature is a temple where, from living pillars, Confused words are sometimes allowed to escape; Here man passes, through forests of symbols, Which watch him with looks of recognition" --Charles Baudelaire
